We saw him Sunday night in Phila. (Tower Theater). A great show. Quite off the beaten path - one guy, strolling around the stage, wandering from instrument to instrument. But if the one guy happens to be Neil Young ... my husband described it as "rock and roll chamber music."

The "wandering" I think is more a plan--he's played the exact same setlist every night of the tour. Glad you enjoyed the show--your husband's description is spot-on.

I was at the Tower on Saturday, Ring...I loved it as well. Some of the more recognizable songs were a bit weird played solo, like Down By the River, Cinnamon Girl, and Cortez, but it was certainly interesting if not exactly Rockin'.

I wondered if any other forumites might be there! Well, we went Sunday, not Saturday. Yeah, some of the effects were odd, but overall, very successful.
